Thank you so much for your kind replies. For what it's worth, I will include the error at the end of the message. It boils down to mkbof. I searched the archives and found a similar error<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02460.html>that Louis commented on, but didn't see a resolution in that thread. Louis was kind enough to suggest changing permissions (tried, same error), seems consistent with this error<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00887.html>that John was seeing. Starting to suspect operating system issues - perhaps even libc in 64 bit ubuntu (the web seems to see issues from 11.04 on).
A "solution": I copied the file over to my windows machine and just ran the windows executable, and no problems. It's not an elegant flow by any means, but hey, we now have our first compiled bof file and the Roach board is blinking as expected - an exciting little victory. We will grab our sys admin who is a linux guru to see if he can see a solution that we could share with the community in case anyone is interested in using Ubuntu. While its set up here we will update to 12.4 as Alec suggests to see what changes. After that we will just take a few hours and set up our virtual machine with Red Hat so we can be synced up with the rest of the community. --Laura Vertatschitsch ::::::::::::::: Specs: Ubuntu 11.10, Xilinx 11.5 (Including system generator 11.5), and Matlab 2009a. We are operating in a virtual machine, and we set up 11.5 using the Linux XPS webpage, including copying the 3 files necessary, and we did need to apply the gmake fix as well as a symbolic link fix that we found in the listserve archive<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01913.html>(sh-->dash changed to sh-->bash). And of course added 11.5 to the case statements in bee_xps. ::::::::::::::: [edited to show the final few lines] Running DRC.
